This Martini painting makes me giggle; it looks like St. Martin is trying to stifle a snore in his sleep. However, over the past few days, I have decided that snoring is no laughing matter. I always knew that pregnancy would leave my body physically changed, but I never imagined how the effects would spread into my sleeping habits. Over the past few months, a snore has been creeping into my sleep by creeping out of my mouth. It started out as a little wheeze, but the other night it (apparently) was so bad that Jeremy got up to sleep on the couch. I was so horrified that a) I was snoring and b) I was snoring loud enough to estrange my husband that I couldn't sleep for the rest of the night.I don't know what's happened - I never snored before I got pregnant. Perhaps all of the weight gain, swollen face, awkward sleep positions, and five pillows have something to do with it. I really hope that I go back to silent sleeping in the next few weeks. I don't feel incredibly ladylike when I know it sounds like a chainsaw is revving inside my mouth.

I know this isn't funny for you, but it did give me a good laugh. You're going to feel SO much better after having your baby. You'll just be dead tired, but at least when you sleep, you'll sleep like a baby!
So I have to confess that MY ugly pregnancy sleep development is that I have started drooling. Yes, it makes me feel like a two year old when I wake up and drool is hanging out the side of my mouth. I think it is due to the fact that I can only sleep on my right side--I have carpal tunnel in my left arm and it hurts too much to sleep on my left side--and cannot move at all during the night. So if that makes you feel better, than good. Here's to having babies soon!
David snores sometimes. When it wakes me up I simply and very gently reposition his head so he stops and is breathing normally. Maybe Jeremy could try it since couches aren't that great for sleeping. I'm excited for babby pictures soon!
You could always get those lovely nose strips to help you not to snore...heehee. Though perhaps it's coming from your throat and not your nose...
